Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems Help Please: Lvl 3 Catacombs Crash TDT

Good Afternoon Everyone,

> Up until this point, the game has been quite stable. I'm playing US version 1.43 on WinXP, 2GH, 512 Ram, GeForce 3.

> I'm in the Catacombs, sent there by the Black Bishop after killing the witch [Kaya?]. When I go down into the 2nd Portal after the 1st major dungeon area, I crash to the desktop after doing just about anything.

> Any ideas on this? Can I backtrack out and finish the game? I'd hate to have it end for me here, as I'm enjoying it immenseley!

> It's a rainy day on Long Island, NY, USA, so the wife and I are off to see Shrek 2, so I thank you all in advance!

You can not skip the catacombs. Try running the configuration program and lower the resolution, to see if it helps any with that area.

Hi Raze,

> Thanks for your reply and attempt to help me!

> In addition to crashing TDT, the game would also go to a black screen with the 2 map and status windows open, just like I had let the cursor drift off my explored map. It would hang there until I quit out of it.

> I tried changing the resolution and it didn't work. BTW, how do you get to the configuration screen from a normal start? I only got the option after the game crashed.

> I finally went back about 4 saves to get a game that would not crash, and it seems to have worked, as I'm now dealing with the lizard men.

> Raze, if you're a moderator, perhaps a suggestion. I've read many, many post regarding the game crashing, with many efforts and replies to help. Most of the threads just kind of peter out with no conclusion. Maybe a sticky post asking people to reply if a suggestion solved or did not solve their problem would be helpful to all involved?

Thanks again!

[color:"orange"] BTW, how do you get to the configuration screen from a normal start? I only got the option after the game crashed. [/color]
Just go to the folder where you installed Beyond Divinity.
(default folder is C:\Program Files\Larian Studios\Beyond Divinity)
Run the program "configtool.exe" that you find there.

Thanks very much Desdemona!!

Mine crashes when I try to proceed in Act 2. I can no longer play the game because I cannot get past this crash point. I would like to hear a solution too. I have tried every suggestion I have seen on the forum regarding crashes and nothing has worked.

The configuration program can also be run from the start menu folder created for Beyond Divinity.
